Resilient, self-reliant heroine × gentle, secretly in-love hero
On the day of the college entrance exam, Xu Zhiyan was in a car accident.
He should have been sitting in the exam hall, but he was rushing to print Jiang Baihe's admission ticket when a drunk driver hit him head-on.
Ten more meters. If only he could run ten more meters, he'd reach Jiang Baihe.
Only when Jiang Baihe pushed through the noisy crowd and stared dazedly at the boy lying on the ground did she suddenly understand: the closed-off lily had long since bloomed again for someone.
When Jiang Baihe woke up again, the sound of students reciting their lessons rang in her ears.
“Jiang Baihe, if you're sleepy, stand up and recite!” Her homeroom teacher's familiar voice rang out above her.
She had been reborn.
Back in her senior year of high school.
That was the year her path crossed Xu Zhiyan's, though they should never have met. It was also the year she met Gu Huaishan.
“Even Little Baihe gets drowsy sometimes!” Gu Huaishan gently poked her from behind and passed her a bottle of milk under the desk.
Jiang Baihe didn't take it. Her gaze passed through row after row of backs, fixing on the boy in the third row who always liked to wear white shirts.
Xu Zhiyan, there's still something you haven't told me.

Xu Zhiyan and Jiang Baihe first met at the lectern in their new senior-year class.
Xu Zhiyan was carrying too many books. As he passed Jiang Baihe, the whole stack scattered across the floor.
Jiang Baihe was always polite. Even though she didn't think she'd bumped into him, she apologized as she bent down to help Xu Zhiyan pick up his textbooks.
“Thank you. I'm Xu Zhiyan.”
“It's nothing. I'm Jiang...”
“Jiang Baihe, I know.” Xu Zhiyan smiled gently. “It's nice to meet you, my... new classmate.”
A little scene:
Half the students in Class 9, Grade 12, knew the secret: class monitor Gu Huaishan had pursued Jiang Baihe for half a semester, but had gotten nowhere.
Xu Zhiyan thought that Gu Huaishan must not have laid his love at the feet of the resilient wild lily.
Jiang Baihe was easy to pursue and easy to satisfy. All it took was a little love, and she'd give you so, so much in return.
It was only much later that Jiang Baihe learned that her meeting with Xu Zhiyan at the lectern that day wasn't actually their first.
1. Both leads are virgins. The heroine loved a scumbag in her previous life, but after being reborn, she only loves the hero.
2. The hero secretly loves the heroine and protects her from afar.
3. Pure love, no angst for the heroine. May beautiful love exist in this world.
